I was researching a topic on the net, and clipping bits of screens shots and website. A couple of things appeared in the notes list in the ap. Of those, and a couple more appeared in the web version. The rest were absent. Also, in the past, some notes have just disappeared and I had to get them back from the web. Your app is great for homemade Pinterest, but hopeless for work. Bye.
Well, bye soon. First I have to extract my stuff. Evernote: computer herpes.

Hi
I lost data again, and had to get it back with an old version of the note. I was editing a note. It had information in an image of text. The image disappeared from the note. Undoing the "edit" did not bring the image back. This is poor for a note keeping app.

Hi. Intermittently, EN displays the wrong folder name. What happens is that I have been looking in a particular folder, click on the folder name and select a different folder. EN pauses and then displays the selected folder, but the displayed name of the folder does not change. One problem from this is, for example, that I am looking at notes in my !Inbox folder, and I can't merge them because (it seems) EN still thinks that it is looking in the Trash folder. I get an option to restore the notes (again!) but no option to merge them. What gives? This happens even after rebooting the computer, too, BTW. Thanks!

Yes, I thought that this might happen. The issue that you have raised here is the difference between literal language and pragmatic language. Some people tend toward pragmatic language. Some people in society tend toward literal language.
QED is short for quod erat demonstrandum, "thus it has been demonstrated". It depends where you went to school, I suppose.
As for posting on the OneNote forums, I assure you the pragmatic/literal English thing will be no better there. Probably worse.
The first version was the clearer version. DTL pretended not to understand. You and DTL probably have a lot in common.

Pleased to meet you, Guru. Let me explain for you how "giving users a voice is bad".
1. If you give users a voice, the implicit message is that you will listen to the voice. By "listen", I mean "act on". If someone says "please pass the sugar" and you listen carefully, but don't pass the sugar, you have not listened in a meaningful sense.
2. If Onenote "listens", then they will give resources to adding features, and not give those finite resources to fixing bugs. Fixing bugs is more important that adding features, so if Evernote listens by adding features, that is bad.
3. If Onenote has the forum up where people make suggestions, and does not attempt to give resources to adding features, then that is bad, because they mislead their posters. See 1. above.
4. As far as I can see, Onenote does not add features, such as different coloured highlighting, a sensible suggestion since about 2013. As far as I can see, Onenote does not fix the bugs in their software. The current situation is bad, therefore.
5. Therefore, Onenote giving its users a forum for features suggestions is bad (2, above), bad (3, above) and bad (4, above). Therefore, the forum for features requests is bad, bad, bad. QED.
If I need to explain that more clearly, please post back.

Actually: no. It is perfectly possible to add new functionality without making basic functionality less friendly. Case in point, Google has added a fair bit of functionality over the years, but if you want to search... Another case in point, almost all the functions in Microsoft Work are accessible in one click, because you can customise the UI. Example: If I am typing and want to put part of a document two columns, I click, scroll and click. Same with page numbers x of y in the bottom middle of the page.

If the basic workings, and feature sets of Evernote are lacking, asking for suggestions about future features is bad, bad, bad. Either, you will not fix the stuff that is broken, which is bad, or you will attempt to add features, which is bad bad bad. Makes me think that this forum is for PR, not for work and that it is therefore lies, lies, lies.

When I download PDF's onto my iPhone, I like to sync them. A window comes up with space for a title and tags, and a button called <save>. I press save and go on with my browsing. But the PDF does not always sync. Recently, to try and fix this, I reinstalled Evernote, waited for the PDF to fully download, put in a title and a tag, and waited to give Evernote time to save/sync the PDF. No dice. 12 hours later, the attachments come up empty on the iPhone, on the PC, AND on the web client.
I can't even check the cloud/version on my iPhone. And this from a company that has a section for feature requests? From a company that is supposed to "never forget". It never remembers.
I read on a testing site that Evernote had laid off lots of staff in Europe. ? how true or not.
Now, tell me, if a company is NOT going broke, will it's product not work while it inquires about new features AND has its old features not working, basic features not available, and rumors that it is laying off staff?
I HATE Microsoft, but...
